No. Characters committed to a quest are only committed to the quest through the end of the Quest Phase (Rules Reference page 23).

No, not even if he were. The "Orc Guard" cards are not revealed as a result of the Forced effect of [[Tower Gate]].

One mechanic that I think works is that responses that trigger from engaging an enemy can be used on the "Orc Guards". The wording on Tower Gate is a little unusual ("as if" has been stated to be not the same as it actually being true). I think it is an identical mechanic to the more common "put into play engaged with you"

Their "fastest in-home WiFi" claim is based on a test of provider supplied wireless APs from 2014. Google Fiber's AP wasn't included in any of the tests, so the comparison is meaningless. Note that Comcast never claims that their WiFi is faster than Google's, just that it's "the fastest*"

The tests come to the oh-so-shocking conclusion that WiFi access points that implement 802.11ac and 3x3 MIMO have higher throughput than access points that don't.

When you perform a hide X test, you discard the top X cards of the encounter deck, meaning that you're not revealing those cards; thus, any "when revealed" effects or keywords do not resolve. You just compare the threat of the discarded cards to the willpower you committed to the hide test.

Too lazy to make a unpopular opinion meme, but give me a fucking break, OP. I go to UGA and had a wonderful time on your beach and I appreciate your community supporting this event.

As you well know, the proper authorities are well aware of Frat Beach months in advance and are more than prepared for the party. I stayed at the Beach Club resort which owns this particular beach, and I was happy to see that the beach was COMPLETELY clean hours after all the students cooperatively cleared the beach.

I know littering is bad, but c'mon we bring in $100,000s if not millions to your small community in one weekend. And at what cost? You hire a few laborers who make sure the beach is pristine by the time the day is over.

I know you'd like some Karma, but don't misrepresent what actually happens. It is obvious from all the "Welcome, Frat Beach" signs that we are more than welcomed in your community.

Self-destruct in Star Trek is generally described as deliberately making the warp core's matter/antimatter reactor overload, resulting in a massive uncontrolled annihilation reaction that releases sufficient energy to destroy the ship. If the goal is to prevent an enemy from making use of the starship or its systems, it's a very reckless and dangerous way of doing it.

What would be more realistic is to deliberately destroy only specific parts of the ship that are considered Starfleet secrets as well as any systems that are required to operate the ship. Intentionally burning out every computer system on the ship would go a long way towards turning a starship into a useless pile of scrap, and be far less dangerous to the crew or anything else in the immediate vicinity.
